I did. A few times before we decided to do a c-section. Jello made me throw up. I love red jello but it totally turns me off now.
I threw up after I had to take that citrate stuff. I think it was supposed to prevent me from getting sick but the strong lemony taste made me throw up and they said I couldn't wash it down with water.
Then I threw up a few more times during the c-section.
Yuck!

Yes I threw up several times and ended up needing a bag of fluids. I tend to be a puker anyway, so I expected it. Still sucked though.

My first time I did. Second time, I got nauseous and nurse put Zofran in my IV. Magic!

I didn't with my first. But kind of expect to this time because I've been much pukier in the last few weeks here than I was towards the end with my daughter.

Yes during labor I did but not during my c section fortunately. It was the only time I threw up for the whole pregnancy and I haven't thrown up since- 2 years so I'm not really a puker!

No. I tried to eat a granola bar before we went to the hospital, but it made me nauseous. I went into labor at 2 am, and I don't think there was much of anything in my stomach.

Yes, I don't remember how many times. It was the least of my worries.

Dd1, no....Dd2, yes. I had no drugs and the pain was just unbearable.

Shortly after giving birth with my first. I believe my IV had Zofran with my second.

Yes with my first, I was puking while pushing...I think with my second as well.
wonderful cherry / 21504 posts
No. I thought I might at one point but it passed. I had a long early labor so at least I was able to eat accordingly (as in nothing that would be awful coming back up!). I knew someone who had had Mexican food before going into labor. No good.

@Truth Bombs: I didn't with DS either, but my sense of smell and nausea trigger is more sensitive this time. Guess we'll see. I hope not that. Yuck!

No! I felt like I wanted to at one point this last time but didn't, and it passed.

With dd1 yes- as they were trying to put the epidural in, I was somewhere between 8-10cm and thing I stay really still despite being in pain and sweating so much.
With dd2 - technically no. I dry heaved a lot before I was even in labor. I moved myself in te bed and got the worst back spasm...it was the most pain I would be in that day! I started gagging from the pain.

I started puking/heaving when I tried to brush my teeth before we left for the hospital. It freaked DH and me both out because they said in our birth class that throwing up is a sign of transition, and we weren't even ready to go.

Yep. My OB let me eat and I threw that up for a couple hours after, including when I was trying to get the epidural. I also threw up when A was finally being delivered and during B's c-section. I think that was mostly just bile though because nothing was left in my stomach after throwing it all up a few hours earlier.

I dry heaved a few times right before I started pushing with LO2 which was an unexpected med-free birth.
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
Pretty much non-stop, even a few times between pushes. I actually had an assembly line of people catching it and rotating in clean buckets 
I also pooped on the table, but D remembers/talks way more about all the puking.
persimmon / 1101 posts
Yep, a lot. I had no idea this was a thing until I got pregnant. The poor nurses!
apricot / 262 posts
Yes, a few times. I drank OJ with breakfast before starting pitocin (so, so dumb), so I had insane acid reflux after throwing up.
The worst was after I had my epidural. The nurses were shifting me to my other side when LO's heart rate took a dip, so they shifted me back immediately. All the movement made me have to barf, but they didn't get me all the way back on to my side, so I was sort of pathetically throwing up on myself and dribbling out the corner of my mouth. My legs were just lifeless sacks of meat at that point so I couldn't really move myself. Not my finest hour.

No, with either, but this time my epidural only worked if I laid on my right and they had me on my left for awhile and I was suddenly very nauseous so they turned me back for a bit.
honeydew / 7283 posts
The first time, no. The second time I threw up during transition and then several times after delivery.
pomelo / 5678 posts
Yes, once was bad enough, but again later during a particularly horrible contraction and that's when I said enough is enough and got a low dose epi! Riiight before pushing.
GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts
Yep after every push I threw up and pushed again before we opted for c-section
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
Yes. With every.single.contraction. For four hours straight.
papaya / 10343 posts
Yep but just once. I got really thirsty and drank a bunch of sprite and that was a bad idea.

DD1, yes during transition. That's how I knew it was time to go to the hospital. DD2, nope.
